LONDON, August 25.-All the Parnellitel
will return to London to-day to be in readi
ness for the debate this evening. Motto.
was given by Gladstone in the House o.
Commons of a resolution that an humble
address will be presented by the Queen, rep
resenting that the viceroy OF Ireland hat
proclaimed the National League danger
GUS. association; that no Information haG
been furnished Parliament to justify the
proclamation by virtue of which Her Ma
jesty's subjects are to he rendered liable to
be punished as criminals without judicial
inquiry into their acts, aad that this
House, in the absence of such information,
prays that said proclamation shall not con.
tinue in force as to the association named
and described therein. Balfour will follow
Gladstone to night and Sir G. 0. Trevelyn n
will move to adjourn the debate. In the
House of Commons yesterday Sir Henry
Holland, Colonial Secretary. replying to
Sir Henry Tyler, said that he had no in.
formation that Sir John Mcdonald, the
Canadian premier, intended to ask for
British troops for service in Manitoba, but
he was not prepared to say that under no
Gil icumstance would the Imperial troops
support the local forces. Each Gaze, he
added, must be judged on it's merits. The
was received with cheers.
GLADSTONE WAS GREETED WITH CHEERS
in the House of Commons this evening,
when he moved his resolution. He said
the Irish Viceroy, in declaring that the
League had melted to violence, must have
acted on information, but where was that
The irish chief had right
to know the ground upon which the gov
ernment had acted. II the facts were with
three propositions upon the house and
governments:
First. That it was almost an outrage
On the dignity of Parliament to suppose
that it was TO discharge such important
statutory duty without knowing the
grounds.
Secondly. 1t reduced to the utter de-
and to an absurdity, the main
con tention that the government advanced
during the discussion OF the Crimes act,
that the safeguard promised had proved a
Iarce.
Thirdly. What could the house think
Of information that they must know would
not bear light.
GLADSTONE HAD ALWAYS COMMENDED
against the combination apart from crime
and now was the time fnr the GnuA~n ..--@
to show that he and his friends were
wrong. but the Government shrank from
the test. and declined the challenge. They
had substituted arbitrary will for regula r
loyal action. This principle was the most
dangerous and disgraceful in any country
and especially in Ireland. The law in
Ireland WIS still on trial. The great mis-
fortune was that those who administer it,
especially locally, were in sympathy with
the feelings OF the people. The proclama-
tion OF the league is a near approach to d
decla ration Of war on The Irish people.
The people of Ireland generally syInpathized
with the league because they believed
IT HAD BEEN THEIR SALVATION
Nobody did any thing for the tenants until
the league was bounded. The Govern.
ment's action ABSOLUTELY excluded the
house from anything except absurd and
operation in connection with
the great duty devolving upon it under the
statute. Their recoenizance Of this pro-
was reduced to mere farce.
There would be no jury, judge or resident
magistrate, and no Parliament to control
Ireland; there would be nothing but the
ABSOLUTE uNMIT1GArED ARBITRARY ACT
Of the'Irsh executive which was necessarily
partisan. He hoped the Irish would con.
tinue to bear the pressure. They would
not have long to suffer. 1t was certain
they woul not obey law through fear, but
from strong. vivid, buoyant hope which
even at last election was not damaged and
which now was brighter. The Irish believed
the Governments policy had not the sane
'ion of the British nation. The Govern
ment foundation was slipping from
under them and tn If action in
reference to the proclamation of leagues
Balfour said that Gladstone would have
been wiser had he rested his argument on
the allegations; that the House was igno.
rant of the grounds for the proclamation,
rather in defense Of the league. There was
sufficient foundation to justify the publ.
cation in the columns Of local newspapers
without going into the Governments conf
Dental reports. Replying to a question
from Harcourt, Balfour refused to submit
the documents voted. and the speaker said
the Secretary WAS not bound to table con-
fidential documents but the case was d,f.
erent with official papers. Harcourt again
asked if the papers were to bptabled. Bal
four said no. The documents were both
public and confidential papers. and his own
note of people realized the true nature and
working OF the league. They would sup
port the Government.
